Nuggets' Lawson reportedly arrested over the weekend

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Denver Nuggets starting point guard Ty Lawson
was reportedly arrested on Saturday after a dispute with his girlfriend.

According to the Denver Post, Lawson was charged with physical harassment and
criminal mischief. Arapahoe county sheriff Grayson Robinson told the paper
Lawson and his girlfriend, Ashley Nicole Pettiford, got into a heated exchange
that resulted into the two breaking each others phones.

Pettiford was also arrested and court records show that a mandatory
restraining order was issued after charges were filed to both parties.

Lawson appeared in court on Monday and was freed on $1,000 bond, according to
court records.

"We are fully aware of an incident involving Ty Lawson over the weekend. Per
team policy and out of respect for the legal process, we will have no further
comment at this time," said Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly.

Earlier this year, Lawson was arrested for failing to appear in court in a
case that involved him being charged with driving under restraint and careless
driving in April 2012.
